Albert Einstein did not create the atomic bomb. The atomic bomb was invented by a group of scientists in the United States. The majority of the research and testing went on at the weapons research and design laboratory at Los Alamos, New Mexico. Einstein did, however, send a letter to president Roosevelt encouraging the United States to begin research on an atomic weapon, and many of Einstein's theories went into the creation of it.

The atomic bomb was not invented in the US, it was invented in London, England in 1933 by Leo Szilard and patented by him in 1934. However it took 12 more years, many scientists & engineers & technicians, and an enormous investment in new industrial infrastructure before the first atomic bombs could be built.

Who ordered Albert Einstein make the atomic bomb?

Albert Einstein did not work on the Manhattan Project, the secret American project to develop the atomic bomb during World War II. The project was ordered and led by the United States government, primarily by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and later overseen by President Harry S. Truman.


Did Albert Einstein know the atomic bomb would work?

Yes, Albert Einstein signed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939 warning about the potential of atomic weapons. While he did not conduct the research himself, he was aware of the theoretical calculations and implications of nuclear fission that could lead to the development of an atomic bomb.


Did Einstein develop the atomic bomb?

No, Albert Einstein did not develop the atomic bomb, which was developed by a team of researchers led by J. Robert Oppenheimer. Einstein's theoretical work does provide the basis upon which the bomb was developed.


How old was Albert Einstein when he created the atomic bomb?

Einstein had no direct involvement in the building of the first atomic bombs. Although Einstein's theories formed the basis of the physics involved in creating them, it was primarily Oppenheimer and Fermi that lead the team that actually designed and built the weapons.


What atomic bomb did Albert Einstein make?

Albert Einstein did not make an atomic bomb. He was a theoretical physicist who wrote a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning about the potential of nuclear weapons and the need to develop them, which ultimately led to the Manhattan Project and the creation of the atomic bomb.
